On Tuesday, June 17th, at least five hired contract workers arrived at 6:30am and climbed into the branches of the oak trees to take down tree-sit platforms.
Around 5pm, one woman tree-sitter was taken down from a tree and arrested. Police cordoned off the area with barricades as oaks supporters converged on the site.
Around 70 people attended an 8pm candlelight vigil.
Contract workers continued to take down parts of the tree-sit Wednesday and 3 protesters (all supporters on the ground) were arrested.

Memorial Oak Grove is located in the 2000 block of Piedmont Ave in Berkeley, one block north of Bancroft Way. It lies adjacent to Memorial Stadium
where Cal's football team plays its games and reportedly stands atop a
portion of a Native burial ground for the Ohlone tribe. Some of the trees
in the Grove were planted in 1923 as part of a World War I Veterans
Memorial. The current stadium, which is adjacent to the Oak Grove, stands
atop the Hayward earthquake fault. The treesitters have an unlikely ally
in Panoramic Hill residents, who reportedly do not look forward to the
removal of the trees from their viewscape.
